Physical Well Being

The physical benefits of yoga are well documented.  The American Osteopathic Association (“AOA”) has determined that the relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, particularly lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Mental Well Being

Yoga helps manage stress, which is known to have devastating effects on the body and mind.  The AOA has also determined that yoga can be very effective in developing coping skills and reaching a more positive outlook on life.

Yoga is a meditation based, spiritual discipline. It is a “religious neutral” practice, allowing inmates of any faith or belief system to participate.
